Rough sea with low sun breaking through clouds, seen from a ship's deck past ropes, pulleys and a mast — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, Csn1728. Public domain (CC0).

Description

The view looks out over choppy grey water toward a horizon lit by a low sun behind clouds, with light rays spreading across the sky. In the foreground a ship's railing, taut ropes, a block and pulley, and a mast frame the scene. No people are visible, and the deck fittings are dark and partly blurred against the bright sky.
